Title: Re: Execute _javascript_ on an HTML file
As far as I recall, I don't believe that Outlook is any different from Entourage: 'content' of a message is just the plain text version of the message body, never the HTML version of multipart messages (which is what HTML messages are). It certainly can't be a file - it's just text. Are you saying that the message body consists of actual HTML code (copied from an HTML file), rather than an HTML message as such? In that case I guess you could proceed the way you're doing and, like Emmanuel, I wonder what the problem is. But if you're talking about an actual HTML message, you'd have to get the 'source', not the 'content', of the message and first parse it to get only the HTML part of the multipart source, and then proceed to your next steps. You'd have to look for " Content-type: text/html;" and trim what comes before <html>, then continue until </html>.

Subject: Execute _javascript_ on an HTML file
I have a workflow where I'm pulling out the HTML source out of an email with:
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
set theList to current messages
set theMsgContent to content of item 1 of theList
end tell
The variable theMsgContent is an HTML file which has some formatted HTML tables in it with data. I would like to execute a chunk of _javascript_ on that HTML to parse out certain data out of it using something like:
document.getElementsByTagName('td');
Short of writing out the HTML file to disk and then opening it in Safari to perform a:
tell application "Safari"
set theResult to do _javascript_ xyz in tab a
end tell
Is there a way to execute _javascript_ code on a file without involving the browser? Ideally, I'd like to do this with some resource that comes with a standard installation of OS software since this script will be distributed across multiple workstations and I don't want to have to maintain a certain environment for the script to be able to run.
Thanks.
